I confess that I\u2019m struggling with a writing project right now, and feel like I\u2019m spinning my wheels. I confess that I\u2019m gripping because I need it to be really good, and right now it\u2019s not good at all \u2013 not even close.<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I confess that I\u2019m sitting at my desk watching an Olathe Police officer pull people over again. This is the 3<\/span>rd<\/sup> morning in the past week he\u2019s been here and I think\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0finally figured out his game. His first day here I figured out that he was only stopping commercial vehicles\u2026 heavy trucks. But, then I noticed he wasn\u2019t stopping all heavy trucks, but I\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0figure out why some and not others. First I thought it was ones that appeared unsafe, but some of the crazy looking trucks (stuff hanging out the back or attached to the sides), were passing by. Then I thought it was speeding vehicles, but that\u2019s not it \u2013 he just stopped a truck going about 25 mph. But then I noticed\u2026 the driver was Latino. I\u2019m going to see if my theory is correct. I hope it is not.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that my 2nd<\/sup> book Public <\/span>Jesus<\/a><\/i> was not released on June 01 & I\u2019m still waiting for it to happen. Whenever it comes out, I\u2019m really excited for folks to read it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I think today is going to be a day of nasty political rhetoric, because the SCOTUS is likely to release its decision regarding the Health Care Reform Act. If you are looking for a good day to hit the pool and stay away from television, radio, and your computer, today would be the day.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that our final membership class was last night & I\u2019m really going to miss it. I\u2019ve had a lot of fun getting to know some of the newer members of the RC Family & talking about what it means to be a part of Redemption Church. I\u2019m sad that it is over.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I have now officially entered the part of summer where I pull off my trousers the moment I walk in the door to my house. If you ring the doorbell & it seems like it\u2019s taking me a long time to answer, it\u2019s because I\u2019m getting dressed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that my wife and I are nearly finished with season 2 of \u201cRev\u201d on the BBC. I can\u2019t wait for season 3. I further confess that we are ordering the 3 month free trial of HBO today, so that we can watch season one of \u201cThe Newsroom,\u201d even though the KC Star totally panned it in the Sunday paper.<\/div>\n
